I am so excited to share that my King’s Crossing serial is now completely live! Just to remind you, this is a serial, and that means you need to start at book one and read to the end. These books are not interconnected standalones. I have priced the first three lower as I know it can be expensive to purchase books. The first is .99, the second is 1.99, and the third is 2.99. The other three are regular price at 4.99 (prices are USD). I’m not sure if or when I’ll raise the prices. I love this serial with all my heart and I want to give every reader a chance to enjoy these books!

Here is the series link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CX7SFGB5. They are available on Kindle, in Kindle Unlimited, and Paperback.

Scroll down for the blurbs and the trigger warnings for the serial.

Trust always comes with a price.

Zane
Six months ago, my parents were killed in a plane crash. They left behind me, my sister, and a billion-dollar company that’s my responsibility now.
The only things that have gotten me through are Zarah and my best friend, Ashton Black.
Until I meet Stella.
Ash hates Stella as much as I love her, and as I try to uncover the reason why my parents’ plane crashed, I struggle to keep both of them in my life.
When she disappears, Ash says, “I told you so,” and all I have left is our friendship built on years of family loyalty, tears, and blood.

Stella
Meeting Zarah Maddox while she tours her parents’ company is a dream come true. She introduces me to her brother, Zane, and a world I want to desperately be a part of as much as I fear.
Ashton Black is Zane’s best friend, and he hates me from the second he hears my name.
He’s not the man Zane thinks he is, but when I discover evidence he’s hurting Zarah, there’s nothing I can do but sacrifice myself to keep them safe.
Zane’s loyalty to the Blacks is stronger than our love, but I won’t be the only one to pay the price.

Revenge is never free, and this time it will cost my heart.

Zane 
I know the second Stella’s back in King’s Crossing, and I want nothing more than to tear her into pieces the way she did to me the day she ran away with another man.
But I’m not the only one who wants her dead, and when she risks her life visiting my sister, I realize that Ash isn’t as innocent as he wants me to believe.
Now Stella and I must work together to find justice for my parents, and maybe I can prove to her that despite all these years of hating her, I still love her, too.

Stella
When Zarah watched Ashton Black kidnap me, she snapped, and for five years, we were both Ash’s prisoner: me at Black Enterprises, Zarah locked away at a sanatorium.
Until I escape.
Now someone wants to kill me, and they almost succeed until Richard Denton, Kagan Maddox’s previous business partner, saves me.
He’s been trying to uncover who murdered Zane’s parents.
I have proof.
We need Zane’s help to destroy the Blacks and avenge Zane’s parents’ deaths, but working with Zane is strictly business.
I trusted him once with my heart . . . I won’t do it again.

Love may be priceless, but I’d give up all I have for hers.

Zane
I thought everything would end the day Ash and his father, Clayton, were arrested for my parents’ deaths, heading a prostitution ring, and selling arms on the black market.
But I was wrong.
The true reason why Ash hated Stella comes out, and it does more than ruin what little trust I’ve managed to repair between us.
It tears us apart.
There’s nothing that will redeem me in Stella’s eyes. All I can do is wait her out and hope that love, just this one time, wins.

Stella
Growing up in foster care, the only thing I’ve ever wanted was to find a family. I thought I had when Zane asked me to marry him. I would have a husband who loved me, and Zarah would be my sister.
But as the FBI sorts through the Blacks’ illegal activities, they find more than what we bargained for.
Now I have to choose between Zane and the family I thought I never had.
I don’t know if I can keep both, or if, after everything I’ve been through to destroy the Blacks, I have the strength to try.

Family. Loyalty. Trust.

Gage
Ashton Black shot and killed my half-brother Max, and in his will, he left me everything he owned, plus one serious request—protect Zarah Maddox.
I don’t want to follow my brother’s last wishes.
All that changes when I rescue her from a group of hungry paparazzi and I look into her eyes.
Her confusion and vulnerability crack my heart wide open, and all I want is to keep her safe.
Locking her up in Quiet Meadows, Black tried to kill Zarah just as he succeeded in killing my brother. And Max was right.
Black’s not done with her yet.

Zarah
My life is a fog of medication and splintered memories filled with violence and hate, and with therapy and the love of my family, I try desperately to live a normal life.
When I meet Gage, I think I might have a chance at happiness.
But there are secrets that won’t leave me alone, shadows the drugs don’t keep hidden.
As Gage and I start investigating my past so we can build a future, we find more than what we bargain for, and it may be too much for him to fight against, no matter how much he says he loves me.

Secrets. Money. Murder.

Gage
When Zarah had her breakdown, I thought we were over. But I’m a tenacious SOB, and I’m not giving up on her that easily.
It doesn’t matter if someone blows up my truck as a warning to stay away from her.
Pop and I don’t stop investigating what was happening at Quiet Meadows, and after Zarah and I look around the sanatorium to see if it will help loosen some of her memories, I’m convinced the facility is the key to it all.
But there’s more against us than just Zarah’s past, and when she walks away, I have no choice but to let her go and try like hell not to look back.

Zarah
I’m not getting better. My memory is slipping away, and it scares me. The only constant in my life is Gage, but because of my uncertain future, being with him doesn’t bring the joy it could have.
As Gage and his father investigate the deaths of previous patients of Quiet Meadows, I dig into my own past, and we realize there was more to my parents’ plane crash, Max’s murder, and Ash locking me away than we thought.
Through it all, I can’t stop thinking Gage could do better than a broken, damaged girl like me, and believing I’m doing the right thing, I let him go.
What I didn’t understand is I’m stronger with him, and now I have to face the danger I’m in alone.

Love. Promises. Forever.

Gage
Zarah made it clear she wants space to do her own thing, but that doesn’t mean any of this is over. Zane asks Pop and me to look into another murder, and I reluctantly agree. We find some interesting evidence at the crime scene, pointing fingers at people I never considered could be a part of it all.
When Zarah’s therapist kidnaps her, Zane, Stella, and I race against time to figure out where they could have gone, and what she wants with Zarah.
What we find will change my life forever.

Zarah
Breaking up with Gage was the biggest mistake of my life, and he’s the only person I can call when I’m in trouble.
Despite getting back together, he still encourages me to go through with a trip I had planned. Jerricka intercepts me at the airport, and she knows just the right buttons to push to convince me to go with her instead.
Revealing secrets from the past seven years, she explains the real reason why Ash locked me away in Quiet Meadows, why my memories have disappeared, and what she plans to do with me.
I know, without a doubt, if she gets her way, I won’t survive.
